Montgomery County Sheriff's detectives arrested Jonathan Nottingham, 17, and charged him with aggravated assault after he allegedly stabbed the man, who was airlifted by LifeFlight to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, according to Sheriff's Lt. Dan Norris.

Deputies were called to a residence on Country West Drive in the Country West subdivision near FM 1485 and Old Houston Road just before 10 p.m. Wednesday.

"When deputies arrived at the residence, they found the 24-year-old male victim lying outside with wounds to his chest and back," Norris said. "He was sent by LifeFlight to the hospital, and this morning he was doing well and in good condition."

The 24-year-old man's name was not released.

Investigators soon discovered Nottingham at a residence not far from the first one, in the same neighborhood.

"He was found to have cut injuries to his hand," Norris said. "They arrested him for aggravated assault."

If convicted of the second-degree felony charge, Nottingham could face a prison term of two to 20 years and a fine of up to $10,000.
